crosseyed: From a user's point of view, nothing has actually changed, even the server's IP address is still the same. Host tracker confirms that BrainKing is accessible from everywhere.
As temporary workaround, ask them to try another domain, e.g. BrainKing.cz, BrainKing.de etc., just in case it is a local DNS problem.

Some people are having problems getting to the site. Is there anything I can suggest to the player I know that can't get in?

MadMonkey:
Thank you!

Deb4858: The points are not really for anything...they are more of a personal challenge. Fencer (who owns BrainKing) has come up with a lot of different challenges (or goals if you like) that you can try and reach. For everyone you reach you get a certain amount of points.

Here is the page that tells you who has the most ----> Achievements

If you go to your profile, and click on the last Tab, you can look through all the achievements, and see which ones you would like to aim for

MadMonkey:
I am a member of your fellowship. Actually, alot of fellowships invited me. What are achievment points used for?

Deb4858: Well, not exactly Deb

Feel free to chat on any of the Public ones -----> Discussion Boards

If you have any particular game questions, every game here has its own Discussion Board. Anything to do with BrainKing itself can be asked here (or the General or Members boards).

Also you are in a few fellowships (including my Madhouse lol), someone will always reply to you in those

Is there a Discussion Board for new players?

rabbitoid: Maybe next time

She's probably allergic to rabbits

I didn't receive any mail from linda. What did I do to deserve this cruel treatment? buuuuuh

*Bright Eyes*:It was taken care of days ago.

hoky: Great!

Fencer: Now that were ate it, Hogfather didn't show up as a "Tugas" won tournament (and maybe some others...)

Fencer: No worries, i like to let you know these things, best stamp on him before it happens again lol

Saying that, i am sure a small script could run through all finished Team Tournaments and check

MadMonkey: A small bug, most likely. I'll check it.

Fencer....I do not know if this is a Bug, or something has stopped working or maybe BarinKing just had a moment

Just going through all running Team Tournaments, so i can keep all Madhouse players up-to-date, and came across a Tournament that must have finished recently (well, since i last went through them all)

10-09-15 Hyper backgammnon is now over. We were 8 :4 up in the Final last time i checked. Anyway, now it has finished, i am wondering why it does not show up in Madhouse Team Tournaments Won ?

Did you disable something the other week, when you were testing other stuff or do we have a BUG .......

Bernice: I do.. it was part of the message when I got sent one.. as in the user name.

linda1 (linda yomie) - [linda1, United States, Brain Pawn, Female] Brain Pawn.

Bernice: Well, if you PM me the name here on BK, I can Since others have said they got it too, I will be happy to block it from sending PM's

Bernice said: I don't obviously

I try not to assume....

Edit* I am curious though, was there *no* user name in your inbox, or what?

happyjuggler0: now if I knew that it would have been put on here..............I don't obviously

Bernice: What is this person's BK user name, the one who sent you the message here at BK? Surely they can't use a yahoo address to send you a BK message?

MadMonkey: yeah in message box....she is spamming...get onto it Rod you go getter you hahahaha

I got one too. Gee I thought it was cuz I was so sexy. Oh well, too old to open it anyway.

Bernice: Well if you received that in a PM here on Brainking, why not just block them? Or if they are spamming many people on here, we can certainly block them from sending messages to anyone.

Bernice: Where did that arrive ? In your Message box ?

WHO IS THIS, and can she do this?

lindayomiec@yahoo.com

please send me your email at my private box
(lindayomiec@yahoo.com)
so i will give you my picture
have a nice day
Yours linda.

Fencer: Great stuff, Thanks

MadMonkey: Yes, sure. I was doing some urgent things but I hope I will find time for this one.

Fencer ..... Any idea when any of the Broken (or disabled) Move and goto.... functions will be made available again ?

(Team game, No Vacation game & Non-paying member games were so useful)

move that chat to a fellowship please ... the subject it is about now has nothing to do with brainking itself

Purple: I don't think so from what was said about the activities of that club you use to be in, you did get banned because of it for a while as did many people involved in the running of KM.

Purple: bless his little beating heart....he always over re-acts...:)

(V): Gross distortion of the "KM Business." But will not defend us any further.

(V): OMG I hope that does not happen to them lol.

crosseyed: True to a degree, but those caught...

(V): Well it will never be controlled.

crosseyed: Because of the KM business which involved many people cheating via using multi-nicks, letting others go into their accounts and threats against other members here..... That's why.

Roberto Silva: Why are people on here so serious? Lighten up.
2. Was only an example of what could happen if some did ask someone to make their moves on their behalf.

1 - When you register to the site it's assumed you have read the terms and conditions and agree to abide by them. The fact that most people don't is besides the point: if you decide to register and complain afterwards about rules you should've read before, that's your problem.

2 - If you're seriously ill on a hospital bed and the first (or even the 50th) thing that comes to your mind is "I'm gonna time out on BrainKing if I don't get internet access soon", then you REALLY need to set your priorities straight!

Hrqls: I agree with you on all you posted.

my 2 cents : if i cant play and i used up all my vacation days .. then i would not like it .. but i would accept it

i play for fun and ranking, but fun comes first, and i would miss playing on here if i wouldnt be able to login, but there are more important things in life

personally i would not like my opponent to hand over his game to someone else ... if the new player is much stronger and annihilates me with a short series of moves then it could spoil the game which might have been interesting with someone of an equal level as me .. if the new players is much weaker then it might spoil the game as well as there might not be the challenge which i expected .. and i wouldnt be able to learn from his moves (which i like to do while playing stronger opponents)

of course there is no 100% proof via which you can show someone is playing games for someone else :)

(V): Of course it isn't. The fact that we're on this site should be sufficient proof :)

(V): Yes true do we grow up? lol.

Mmmm in the end I find that age is not a sure sign you are an adult. It's just a birthday counter.

(V): Actually it adults behaving like chidren.. But I don't intend to continue with this discussion as this is not the right board for it.

crosseyed: Who cares what is said in that fellowship. It's all just kids being kids, most of them having broken the rules and then just complaining when someone else does it... as it is not them and they are not the ones getting away with it.

crosseyed: If someone was that ill... why are they worrying about a few games on the internet.. are they not.. or as you said... "I only play for fun."

so why are you worrying if you lose a load of games?
